LinkedIn: It just ain't social...

Cast your eye over any article, blog or tweet regarding 'social media' platforms and pretty much every time you will hear LinkedIn included in the list, especially when talking about 'social' recruiting.  I don't know about you though, but I don't see LinkedIn as social technology at all, certainly not in the same way as I would see…See More

There's no "black hole" in community...

Community. It's the word in everyones lips right now. Which is always a worry. We descend into 'fads' so easily these days it seems and it would be a shame for community to end up being tarnished with the fad brush. I have long been a big fan of community - I believe it has the potential to transform  organisations and shape…See More

Gareth - this is really a fine fine post. Thank you for sharing. I also have to mention that the Uncle Ben/Ridley Scott references were excellent.

@garethjones - Just read your referenced blogs and very interesting that we were essentially on teh same wave length over 6 years ago. Ironically it was the success I was having running the marketing at Nigel Lynn Associates that gave me the spark…

@Samantha -  thanks for the comments. It is true the process is appalling and some of the clunky processes we ask candidates to go through are totally unnecessary, especially given how smart tech can be these days.  I do think though…

A fantastic post and question. This is also a passion of mine. Companies, HR, recruiters need to remember that every candidate is also a potential customer, especially in the retail, food industries. If I am treated like a piece of crap, never…

The "Candidate Experience": There isn't one...

If you are involved in resourcing, whether in house or on the supply side, you won't have failed to have noticed the big shift and conversation around direct resourcing.  You will also, I’m sure, have come across many conversations about the candidate experience, or lack of it – …See More

Thoughts for recruitment tech start-ups...

Posted on September 20, 2011 at 8:00am 6 Comments
